statue of the founder of that city, Gen
eral Moses Cleveland. A clay model
of the work has been completed. The
figure stands seven feet and six inches
high. The General is represented as
standing erect, with staff and an old
fashioned surveyors level in his hands.
He is bareheaded, and is dressed in the
ordinary outdoor garb of his time.
The pose is natural and easy and the
face striking. There IS more Of natural
ness and flesh and blood depicted in
the cOuutenance than can be found in
most of the alleged portraits of the old
surveyor in existence. The sculptor
worked principally from a lithOgraph
of a portrait painted on ivory in an old
fashioned breastpin. now in the possess

Conn The likeness is thought by
members Of the Cleveland family who
have seen the model TO be as perfect as

1t will bear the Inscription: General
Moses Cleveland, founder of the city,
